Well done to Elizabeth Hobbs (friend and sometime Somewhere collaborator) on winning The McLaren Award for New British Animation at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Where our new friends from Tsotsi took not only the Audience Award but also The Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature Film.
I think that her film The True Story Sawney Beane is the best to date ... here on Somewhere you can watch the animation that she made for the first stage of the Bata-ville project (follow the 'try and do' and 'education' links)- inspired by stories we'd heard from children taken in a Bata plane to Switzerland and made entirely with shoe laces!
